Topic: timecoded vinyl help

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hey,
I was wondering, how long does the timecoded vinyl usually last? If it is not that long it is way!!!!! over priced.

@ DJ quickhands, mmmmmmm i think you may be a wee bit mistaken when you say way over priced!! concidering they are the most in-expensive TCV on the market and i use the word in-expensive purely because there is nothing "cheap" about VDJ.

but straying from your question a TCV ( time coded vinyl) is of course a ..... yes you guessed it ..... vinyl ! it looks and is subject to the same laws as any normal vinyl, treat it poorly it will scratch and well you know not work. it does not "wear down" as such. but once again there are little helpful hints to keeping you TCV in tip top condition that licienced members share amongst each other !! so come on get you copy asap and lets help you oiut with all the tricks of the trade!!

yes shipping is as much as 2 TCV's themselves but you can always order 4 at a time to help cut down that cost.

the wearing of the vinyl isn't too bad at all.

I've had mine for a few months now and they still give me some decent quality and I've tried to do some massive scratching on them heh.

you have 2 full 15 min tracks on each side of the TCV and as many mentioned here, if you order 4 you will be good for a long time.

Best Regards

In fact the timings in the TCVs tracks are: 12 min in 33RPM and 8:50 min in 45 RPM.

And have a 4 TCVs is more in case of an accident, the wearout isn't to bad at all even with heavy scratch.
